The Eastfield College Police Department reports directly to the Vice President of Business Services and works closely with the vice presidents of student development and instruction and the college president.

Every effort is made to maintain a safe campus environment. High visibility patrols and frequent checks of campus buildings and grounds assure a quick response to those requesting assistance. The department maintains a Crime Prevention Program for all staff and faculty members and during student orientation, provides students with information on such personal services as providing an escort to vehicles, providing a battery jump or airing up a flat tire. The college newsletter, The Village Window, regularly contains information on crime prevention programs and list all reported crimes such as murder, sexual assault (forcible and non-forcible), robbery, aggravated assault, burglary or motor vehicle theft.

Eastfield College commissioned officers under the Texas State Law are allowed to effect arrest, issue citations, and carry firearms. The Eastfield College Police Department has concurrent jurisdiction with the Chief of Police of Mesquite. The Mesquite police department will respond upon request and will enter serial numbers of stolen property from the college facilities into the National Crime Information Center and Texas Information Center. The goal of the Eastfield College Police Department is to maintain a safe and suitable environment for students, faculty, staff, and visitors.
